Today, it’s not just Republic Day, but also the establishment day of the state of West Bengal. Abnormal it may sound, but after much hardship #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee was able to influence the Bengal Legislature to include the Hindu part of Bengal within India. #WestBengal 
Mohammad Ali Jinnah very clearly said he will not settle for Bengal, if Calcutta is not given to Pakistan. If he succeeded in this demand, entire Bengal, Assam, Tripura and Manipur would fall in the lap of East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee #WestBengal
While our Communists found the demand for Pakistan very much justified, the #Congress too was almost ready to gift entire Bengal to Pakistan, ignoring the interests of its huge Hindu population. #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee #WestBengal
Calcutta now #Kolkata, then the biggest and richest city of India was Jinnah's dream and all the Muslims of Bengal were almost sure that it will be given to majority community, as it is their normal right! #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee #WestBengal
Thanks to #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee, for the first time in history, a capital city of a divided state was not given away to the majority. It went to the minority, i.e. to the Bengali Hindus who were a little more than 32% of the total population of undivided Bengal. #WestBengal
He also opposed a failed bid for a United Sovereign Bengal made in 1947 by Sarat Bose, the brother of Subhas Chandra Bose, and Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, a Bengali Muslim politician. #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee #WestBengal
His views were strongly affected by the Noakhali genocide in East Bengal, where mobs belonging to the Muslim League massacred Hindus. #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee saved the lives and dignity of 5 crore Hindus by keeping the western part of Bengal with India! #WestBengal
Today, he is almost forgotten in Bengal. He is counted a communalist as he saved Hindus from the hands of death awaiting in Pakistan. Ever wondered what would have happened to Bengali Hindus if entire Bengal would have gone to Pakistan in 1947. #WestBengal #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee
Simple, they would meet the same fate Hindus faced in Pakistan and Bangladesh, a gradual death and fast vanishing of existence. Never forget this date of history if you are a Bengali Hindu still living with grace in West Bengal. #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee #WestBengal
On this day our future entity was born as a result of hardwork of a towering leader and a selfless patriot #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee. Apart from strongly opposing Article 370 in J&K, he also played an important role in establishment of #WestBengal.
I request our current leadership in state and centre to acknowledge, pay tribute and give him the respect he truly deserves. Time to honour the real unsung heroes of Pre and Post Independence era. #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee #WestBengal
@tathagata2 please read my above thread in the memory of #DrSyamaPrasadMukherjee on the Establishment Day of West Bengal 🙏
